Gatekeeper

Simple DHCP and DNS server that replaces your ISP router for home networks

PlatformWebfree

Gatekeeper is a free, open-source DHCP and DNS server built specifically for home networks, designed to replace or isolate an ISP-provided router. It auto-configures itself, needs no manual maintenance, and gives real-time visibility into which devices are on the network and what they're doing — DNS queries and live traffic per domain — something commercial home routers don't expose. It's for people who want to see and control what's happening on their home network without the complexity of professional-grade router software.
